Rescued From the Very Jaws OF
Death.

While the writer is well aware that
written testimonials regarding the
phenomenal efficacy of any particular
method of medical or surgical treat
ment of disease should be deprecated,
for they certainly are looked
upon with well-founded suspicion
by the public at large as being
little more than the cunning de-
wee Of the charlatan, quaek OF
vendor of patent nostrums, to make
pecuniary profit; vet no one viii
hardly dispute the assertion that when
a remarkable medical cure is had of
any description, and a person actually
saved thereby, from premature death,
the individual thus benefited owes il
his fellow sufferers; nay, II becomes in
the opinion of many an imperative duty
to make known in as public manner as
possible the method by which his health
was regained, that others similarly.
afflicted may be able, if they desire, to-
reap the benefits. 1t is with this end
! in view that the undersigned feels
prompted to conscientiously pen the
following narrative and testimonial as
to the means whereby ne gainad are
newed lease of life. To commence with:
! My name is William ]. Jones; by occu-
patton farmer and miner; am 20 years
of age and have resided IN Beaver
| County, Utah, nearly all my life. i Oe-
cupy and cultivate q farA at Rocky
Ford; but have been in the habit for q
number of years past of spending the
winter months of each year in labcring
in and around the silver and lead mines
in the WESTERN part of Beaver County.
In September, 1886. was employed
by the North Star Silver Mining Com
paDy, working for that company in the
Chicago mine.i in the North Star Mining
District. While thus employed, in tbs
month above mentioned, became ut
terly Frustrated from the 5enefui
effects of the very poisonous aYSF7i5ai
vapor and dust that impregnate5 Hif
workings of the mine in which ] la
bored. This prOstration and sickness
was accompanied by an almost 1Oesl
suppression OF urine, and g marked
dropsiesl tendency OF the body aDG
limbs. Failing to get any relief from
the local physicians, my friends con-
cluded it best to send me for treatment
to the Holy Cross Hospital, in Salt Lake
City. While the expert physicians of
that excellent institution undoubtedly
used their best skill, my case seemed 10
utterly battle them, and at the expira-
ron OF two months I was discharged
with the melancholy information that
my case was incurable. I was then,
utterly helpless, both physically and
financially, and but for the kind Offices
of friends would have laid aside, as it
were, to die. However, was taken in.
and cared for, and two of the ablest
physicians Salt Lake afforded called
TO my assistance. One OF them dag
nosed my disease as being Tephrit'S,
and the other medical gentle
man said I was suffering from an
acute stage of B-igbt's disease of the
kidneys. My body and limbs were
swollen to frightful extent, the skin
being apparently distended to its ntmOst
tension by the waterv secretion. Both
of the physicians referred to above, gave
my case their best attention, but no.
Withstanding their efforts and skin /
gradually grew worse and they also
gave up my cas- e as hopeless. In this
terrible extremity, my friends happen
ing to learn OF some cases of a similar
character that had been successfully
treated by DR.. II. E. Grow, the Electro
pathist of 112 w. South Temple Street,
Salt Lake City, and as an almost final
venture, they called him to examine
and diagnose the case After making
the examination Mr.. Grow reported
that my complaint was an almost com
plete paralysis of the kidneys. TO make
a long story short Mr. Grow gave me
one hours treatment daily for two
months. supplementing the electric
stimulation by mild medicine. At The
expiration of the period referred to, my
body had become reduced to its natural
size, and to the infinite Joy OF my family
| was eMabled to return a-d resume my
labors on the farm wholly and per
manently cured. This testimony is en-
tirely voluntary and unsolicited, and
is in my humble opinion bus q meagre
tribute to the wonderful efficacy of the
electrical treatment of disease. as prae-
ticed by DR.. H. E. Grow, OF Salt Lake
! City. Reference, Elias Morris, Esq. :,
Bishop Il. Sperry.
